Job 12
1 Then Iob answered, and sayde,
Dia namaly Joba ka nanao hoe:
2 In deede because that ye are the people onely, wisedome must dye with you.
Marina ary fa ianareo ihany tokoa olombelona! Ary hiara-maty aminareo ny fahendrena!
3 But I haue vnderstanding aswel as you, and am not inferior vnto you: yea, who knoweth not such things?
Kanefa izaho mba manan-tsaina tahaka anareo ihany koa; Tsy latsaka noho ianareo aho; Fa iza moa no tsy nahalala izay zavatra toy izany?
4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth vpon God, and he heareth him: the iust and the vpright is laughed to scorne.
Tonga fihomehezan’ ny sakaizako aho. Dia izaho izay niantso an’ Andriamanitra ka novaliany; Eny, tonga fihomehezana ny olona marina tsy manan-tsiny.
5 Hee that is readie to fall, is as a lampe despised in the opinion of the riche.
Endrehin-datsa ny ozoim-pahoriana, raha araka ny hevitry ny miadana, eny, vonona ho amin’ izay ela mangozohozo ny latsa.
6 The tabernacles of robbers doe prosper, and they are in safetie, that prouoke God, whome God hath enriched with his hand.
Mandry fahizay ny lain’ ny mpitohatoha, Ary mitoetra tsy manahy izay sahy mampahatezitra an’ Andriamanitra, dia izay mitondra ny herin’ ny tànany ho andriamaniny
7 Aske now the beasts, and they shall teach thee, and the foules of the heauen, and they shall tell thee:
Kanefa anontanio ange ny biby, fa hampianatra anao izy, ary ny voro-manidina, fa hanambara aminao izy;
8 Or speake to the earth, and it shall shewe thee: or the fishes of the sea, and they shall declare vnto thee.
Ary makà saina amin’ ny tany, dia hampianatra anao izy. Ary ny hazandrano any an-dranomasina hampahalala anao.
9 Who is ignorant of all these, but that the hande of the Lord hath made these?
Iza no tsy mahalala, raha mandinika ireny rehetra ireny, fa ny nanao izany dia ny tanan’ i Jehovah,
10 In whose hande is the soule of euery liuing thing, and the breath of all mankinde.
Izay mitana ny ain’ ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra sy ny fofonain’ ny olombelona rehetra?
11 Doeth not the eares discerne the words? and the mouth taste meate for it selfe?
Moa tsy ny sofina va no mamantatra ny teny? Ary tsy ny vava va no manandrana ny hanina?
12 Among the ancient is wisedome, and in the length of dayes is vnderstanding.
Ao amin’ ny fotsy volo ny fahendrena, ary ny fahela-velona no ahazoam-pahalalana.
13 With him is wisedome and strength: he hath counsell and vnderstanding.
Ao amin’ Andriamanitra kosa no misy fahendrena sy hery; Izy no manana hevitra sy fahalalana.
14 Beholde, he will breake downe, and it can not be built: he shutteth a man vp, and he can not be loosed.
Indro, mandrava Izy, ka tsy hatsangana intsony; Manidy ny olona Izy, ka tsy hovohana.
15 Beholde, he withholdeth the waters, and they drie vp: but when he sendeth them out, they destroy the earth.
Indro, manampina ny rano Izy, ka dia ritra iny; Ary alefany indray ka mahasimba ny tany.
16 With him is strength and wisedome: hee that is deceiued, and that deceiueth, are his.
Izy no manana hery sy tena fahendrena; Samy eo an-tanany avokoa ny voafitaka sy ny mpamitaka.
17 He causeth the counsellers to goe as spoyled, and maketh the iudges fooles.
Alany voninahitra ny mpanolo-tsaina, dia entiny. Ary asehony ny fahadalan’ ny mpitsara.
18 He looseth the collar of Kings, and girdeth their loynes with a girdle.
Vahany ny fifehezan’ ny mpanjaka, ka feheziny mahazaka ny valahany.
19 He leadeth away the princes as a pray, and ouerthroweth the mightie.
Alàny voninahitra ny mpisorona, dia entiny, ary ny mafy orina ela dia ravany.
20 He taketh away the speach from the faithfull counsellers, and taketh away the iudgement of the ancient.
Koroiny ny laha-tenin’ ny mahay, ary ny fahazavan-tsain’ ny anti-panahy dia esoriny.
21 He powreth contempt vpon princes, and maketh the strength of the mightie weake.
Mandatsaka fanamavoana amin’ ny andriandahy Izy, ary ketrahiny ny fehin-kibon’ ny matanjaka.
22 He discouereth the deepe places from their darkenesse, and bringeth foorth the shadowe of death to light.
Manala rakotra izay lalina Izy mba tsy ho maizina ary mitondra ny aloky ny fahafatesana ho eo amin’ ny mazava.
23 He increaseth the people, and destroyeth them: he inlargeth the nations, and bringeth them in againe.
Mahalehibe ny firenena Izy, nefa mandringana azy koa, mampihahaka ny firenena Izy, nefa mitondra azy hody indray.
24 He taketh away the heartes of the that are the chiefe ouer the people of the earth, and maketh them to wander in the wildernes out of the way.
Mahavery saina ny loholona amin’ ny tany Izy ary mampirenireny azy any an-efitra tsy misy lalana;
25 They grope in the darke without light: and he maketh the to stagger like a drunken man.
Mitsapatsapa amin’ ny maizina tsy misy mavaza ireo; ary mampivembena azy tahaka ny olona mamo Izy.
